opps,,,
"oh crap" is one of my bad habits I'm trying to break, just slipped up and you guessed it, Jasper said it! OH MAN! is our new phase. I know crap is not "a 4 letter word" but it is not to pleasing to the ear either. There have been words that we have had to tell the girl we don't like to hear for whatever reason, one...gaugh, just didn't like it, sounded like god when she said it, one of the new ones, jacked up, don't ask but didn't like it either. Of course they think we are being silly, it's just words, right? How do you make children understand tone, phasing and attitude? Especially when they don't live with you. That has been a constant pray, to be a good parent and do what we think is best, not what is easiest. Back to Jasper, as you can tell, he is repeating words more these days. Loves animals, we went by the zoo the other day before playgroup and saw the monkeys, bears, dogs (wolf). Will have to video him and post! He is a hoot!

Very well written and stated. I agree with you. I remember our first "ut oh she's repeating". Won't tell you what was said but it was an "ut oh".
